The Assessment of the Natural Landscape Structure Transformation in a Carpathian Study Area
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
To characterise a natural landscape structure one must return to the epoch before the human impact and the contemporary climatic conditions. Such the reconstruction is methodologically related to that of the potential natural vegetation cover. In the studied area, the following units of the potential natural vegetation cover were mapped: Floodplain foothill and mountainous forests, Oak-hornbeam Carpathian forests, Oak acidphilic forests, Linden-maple forests, Beech and Fir floriferous forests, Beech floriferous foothill forests. The man's activity gradually removed the natural vegetation cover from the land being cultivated. Land use is an effective tool of expressing the structure of the contemporary landscape. It presents objects of the biophysical substance of the contemporary landscape (spatial objects of the earth surface identified according to the external signs of the landscape) (Feranec, Ot'ahel' 1996). Three principal types of land use were identified in the cadastre of Hermanovce nad Topl'ou: artificial surfaces, agricultural lands and forests and semi-natural areas. These units were divided into 5 levels at the scale of 1:10 000. 39 types of areas of the 5th level of the CORINE Land Cover were classified in the study area. Real vegetation cover was mapped in every unit of the 5th level of the CORINE Land Cover with the CORINE Biotopes method describing the species composition of plant associations. Assessment of the changes of the natural landscape structure was based on a comparative analysis of the spatial differentiation of the natural potential vegetation cover and spatial differentiation of the contemporary landscape structure and on the comparative analysis of the real vegetation (species composition of the individual biotopes) with the structure of the potential natural vegetation, that would occur on the studied area if there was no man's impact.
